Einkorn is the most ancient wheat, and more easily digested because it has very weak gluten. In fact, if you knead einkorn dough by hand, you can see for yourself how different it is by how sticky the flour gets when mixed with water (kneading is believing!) Our founder, Carla, who has been working with einkorn for almost eight years now, loves to bake bread for her family but she was getting tired of sticky hands. One day at a dinner in Italy with relatives, she got to talking to a relative of a relative who manufacturers stainless steel tools. Together with Maurizio, she created a simple tool that she uses at home to knead most types of einkorn bread without touching the dough.

Jovial’s Einkorn Kneading Tool is simple to use- just add the ingredients to a large bowl, and mix the dough as if you were using a large wooden spoon until the water absorbs the flour. Since the tool is made from polished stainless steel and has a hole in the middle, it won’t drag in the dough. You can also use the tool to scrape the sides of the bowl. If the dough is stiff, use the tool as much as possible, then cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 15 minutes. During the resting period, the flour will absorb the liquid and become less sticky so you can finish kneading by hand.
